Panthers open as 3-point favorites for Week 15 vs. Packers

Last week, the Carolina Panthers were considered underdogs going up against the Minnesota Vikings even though they were playing at home.

Ttheir surprising 31-24 win on Sunday has restored some confidence in Carolina among the NFL’s betting classes.

Coming up next, the Panthers have another tough challenge when they host the Green Bay Packers, who are expecting to see quarterback Aaron Rodgers suit up for the first time in two months.

Despite Rodgers’ much-anticipated return, Carolina has opened as a three-point favorite for this week against Green Bay, according to Odds Shark. The over/under is set at 45, which means Vegas is not expecting to see much of a shootout. The Packers are 7-6 so far this season against the spread, while the Panthers are 8-4-1.

Green Bay lost its last meeting with Carolina back in November 2015 by 37-29, but the Packers still lead the all-time series 9-5.
